Reasons

1. Cheap Does not mean its always better.
2. Quality of the servers (branded vs white box)
3. Looking at the softnep dedicated server (celeron come on, the most powerful is a dual core xeon which are so 2000)
4. Service (very very important)
5. Network Backbone
6. Backup (Most of the rackspace server came with unmetered backup)
7. To talk to people who know what they are doing (support)
8. Not having to deal with resellers, that are middle man between the real host thus, they are the middle man between the support too.

To tell you the truth VPS is a nice technology. Depending on your needs a VPS can suit you or not. In my case its a no on VPS. But if you have a not so resource intensive app then go with VPS. One really cool feature i like about VPS is restoring your Instance of the VPS from a backed up image. But its nice to know rackspace provides all different flavor of Hosting out there.

These are my opinion. Thats all.
